The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Gilda removed her arm from Rainbow Dash and looked at Captain Carson "Yeah, it's nice to meet you too I suppose" she shrugged as she looked at the other ponies and shook her head before she looked at Rainbow Dash "And you just had to make friends with some aliens too...."

She then extended her wings, glancing at Rainbow Dash again before she just took off without another word to spare.  Where she was going to head to, that was uncertain of right now.

***

Trixie looked at Twilight as she sighed to her and rushed over to her "But....Trixie doesn't know how to entertain guests all that well....except Twilight of course" she then glanced to Mrs. Swimmer again "But Trixie could try....for Twilight anyway" she smilled to her and trotted over to Mrs. Swimmer.

Chong set a flurry of spells against Kratos. While Chong was not the magician he had been before(He silently cursed Stripetail for taking away much of his powers) he was still a formidable foe. Chong had seen Kratos in action and knew that the best defense in this case was a good offense..
_
 Winterville Hotel
- Stripetail and his team gathered an hour later in the dining room for dinner. Alright everyone help yourselves" He smiled  But remember to leave enough food for the other guests, we don't want to be rude " Isn't there any freshly killed meat here? Kopa asked. ' No, hotels don't have meat like that.. well normally..Stripetail replied. " just eat what you can..
_ Nick nodded to Kerzach. See if you can break any of the windows..
Winner of these:

Kratos stepped back as he was struck by the spells and in turn, put the Blade of Olympus away and pulled out the Bow of Apollo and started to fire a few shots at Chong, trying to light him on fire this time as Hailey just watched on before she rushed at Kratos, fists in flames before striking him across the face a few times.

She stepped backwards a little and in turn, used her flamerthrower ability instead, setting Kratos on fire.  Hailey had then waited for the fire to disperse on Kratos, only to see him still standing "How the hell is he still alive? Can...can he even die?"

Kratos just narrowed his eyes at Hailey, then to Chong, as Hailey gulped at that, while she stepped backwards a little as Kratos started to step forward again.

"Uh yeah....I don't really want to die again....unless you have a plan Chong....I'm uh, I'm gonna go back to the ship and uh....stay alive" Hailey told Chong nervously before she turned and took off.

Jason and his friends walked around town and came across the cafe.  

"You folks getting a bit hungry?" Jason asked. "We can stop here.  It would offer more variety then just apples."

Most of his friends nodded or said yes.  They spread themselves at 2 tables that were near to each other and sat down.  

Spike's stomach started to rumble and he stopped his bowling. "I know of a cafe near here." He said.

"Good, I was starting to get hungry." Sara said.

"You're not the only one." Spike said, walking towards the door and then to the cafe.

Pinkie Pie looked at Aimee for a moment "I gotta go now okay? But that was a real fun duel" she smiled to her as she grabbed Gummy, placing him on top of her head "But....it's going to take far too long to leave the normal way....so...."

And with that, Pinkie Pie grabbed the next scene herself and pulled it across and was seen seconds later, back in Ponyville without needing to move a muscle as she just then bounded off in order to go and find her friends again.

But as she bounded along, she came across Spike, Sara and Jason and stopped right in front of them, a smile upon her face "You know what you guys should have? Cupcakes! And not the kind I read about online in that really weird fanfic where I murdered Rainbow Dash and turned her into a cupcake!" she exaggerated the explanation a little before gasping "Rainbow flavoured cupcakes! That's what we need! Normal cupcakes with rainbow colouring!"

"Rainbow Flavored?  & where would one get a normal cupcake with rainbow flavoring? Gnash asked.

"Food coloring?" Guilmon said.

"Or some other method?" Jason asked curious.

"Did you teleport here?" Sara asked.

"No silly, bake em!" Pinkie Pie answered back, ignoring the teleporting question "You guys have to come to Sugercube Corner!" she added in and turned, bounding off to Sugercube Corner, hoping that the three of them would at least follow her.

Jason and his friends along with Sara & Spike got up to follow Pinkie.  Jason reached into a pocket and put down a few pieces of 8 on his table.  

"You carry the oddest things in your pocket." Gnash said seeing what Jason put down.  

Jason shrugged, "I acquired quite a few of those on a previous mission for the Celestial intervention agency.   As a part of that I had to become a pirate captain for a while." Jason said.  

Sara looked at Pinkie then leaned down to talk to Spike in a whisper. "Is she totally sane, or a bit???" She asked.  

"The Jury is still out on that one." Spike said, using a thumb to indicate a group of 12 ponies clustered together talking in very low voices.

They continued to follow Pinkie till they arrived at Sugercube Corner.

Pinkie entered Sugercube Corner and bounded off into the kitchen straight away and already, she started to bake a few trays worth of cupcakes.  All the while Gummy just stood in the open area on the ground as he blinked before lunging at Spike and started to gum away at his head.

Soon, Pinkie had returned with rainbow coloured cupcakes as she just smiled away at the group that was gathered around.  She smiled to them as she set the tray of muffins down onto the ground before bounding off, returning again with more cupcakes.

(Twilight's House)

Ms. Swimmer sat on the couch, only for the electrical field to scorch part of it.

She quickly sat back on the floor. "So, I never got your name."

----------------------

(Ponyville)

The dune buggy pulled up to the borders of Ponyville. Captain Carson
shut off the motors and pocketed the keys. She and Applejack headed to Sweet Apple Acres.

Rarity and Rainbow Dash returned to their respective homes.

----------------------

The ODIN trooper and the normal soldier were gathered outside Sugarcube Corner. Both of them were in their armor.

"Why didn't Twilight tell us that Lyra was an enormous creep!" the ODIN trooper shouted.

"Hey, all things considered, waking up to go to the bathroom to find Lyra staring at you isn't that bad," the normal soldier said.

"No, but finding her staring at my body while I'm taking a shower is a bit unsettling."

----------------------

(Phoenix)

Dr. Kerzach kicked one of the windows as hard as possible - to no effect. Even though as a Cassowary, he was strong enough to shatter a Human arm with one blow. He then leapt at the window and kicked it even harder than before.

The window remained intact.

Dr. Kerzach swore. "Get something like a fire ax and a saw," he said. The heavy reinforced windows that Nick had splurged for to keep people from smashing them were now working against them.

(Twilight's House)

"Trixie" Trixie answered back "Trixie is Twilight's friend now.  Well at first Trixie wasn't, she was jealous and a bit hateful of Twilight...but that was only because Twilight was better than Trixie in regards to magic.  But then we met again and Trixie knows something now, that Twilight does mean the world to her, that Trixie does love Twilight" she told Mrs. Swimmer rather happily herself.

***

(Rainbow Dash's House)

Outside Rainbow Dash's house was where Gilda was waiting since she had taken off and saw her friend approaching "What took you so long? Sorry for not hanging around before....just can't stand the aliens...." she shook her head a little bit.

"Listen, Dash...." Gilda again, started as she sighed a little "I'm sorry about what happened last time alright? But I just couldn't help it and I just snapped was all, probabally not the best way to go in the end and all that....but you know how it is, don't you?"

"These look interesting." Jason said as he picked up one, the rest of his friends, including Sara, picked up one.  Jason took a bite of the muffin.  

Spike took one.  "These are good.  You make any of those other ones you made that one time.  They were good too.  & you never made a second batch." Spike said, meaning the baked bad muffins that made every pony that ate them sick, but that Spike had liked the taste of.

Outside, near Sugercube Corner, one of the Wonderbolts landed.  It was Spitfire as she pushed her goggles up onto her forehead and stepped inside "Hey Pinkie, hey Spike" she spoke up, glancing to the others as well.

"It's Spitfire!" Pinkie Pie pipped up as she bounded over to the Wonderbolt "So, what brings you here?"

"Was just on my way to Cloudsdale at Princess Luna's request, as Princess Celestia's not back yet, something about sorting out the security tat was raised there when those other aliens attacked.  I just dropped by to get a bite to eat was all" Spitfire explained in general.

Pinkie Pie handed Spitfire a cupcake "Here!" she smiled to the Wonderbolt.

"Hey Spitfire, how goes?" Spike said, waving, having finished his cupcake.   "Rainbow dash'll be sorry she wasn't here to see you. "

"I wonder if all they did was cause Damage or if they did something worst perhaps." Jason said half out loud and half to himself.  

"Like what?" Gnash asked.

"Maybe taking some supplies, food, captives to use for multiple purposes." Jason said.

"Despicable bunch." Sara said.

"Well, that's what I'm doing, going to see if Cloudsdale's fine.  All we know is that a few ponies were taken from Canterlot, but other than that, unsure about it" Spitefire answered as she looked to Spike when he mention Rainbow Dash's name "Was wondering where she was too, but if she's busy doing something else, it's fine" she told him rather humbly.

Pinkie Pie gasped "You know, that does remindmeofthetimerainbowdashwaspreparingfortheyoungestflyercompetitionwhenshefreakedoutandstarteddoubtingherselfthatshecouldntpulloffthesonicrainboombutshedidandendedup saving your life!" she ended up smiling.

All Spitfire caught was the end of what Pinkie had just told her and chuckled lightly "Yeah, I never did get to thank her properly for that, was a bit too busy and preoccupied at the Gala to do so"

"i'm sure you'll think of something." Jason said to Spitfire.

"Maybe she's taking a nap or something.  is it hard for a peguses to join the Wonderbolts?" Spike asked.  

"Some ponies were taken?  That sounds bad." Brooklyn said.

"I was wondering if some were.  We'll have to get them back." Jason said.  "And it's not just us going after them.   I think I saw some power rangers in the battle battling alongside some unicorns in shiny armor." Jason said, not having any idea what the armored unicorns were or what they were called.  

"Oh yea, think I saw a couple myself." Gnash said, meaning both the armored unicorns and the power rangers.

"Well, in a way it is hard, but believe it or not....that's something else I did want to talk to Rainbow Dash about....just don't tell her alright?" Spitfire asked the group with a humble smile of hers "Don't want to ruin any sort of suprises for her"

Pinkie Pie giggled "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye" she recited the Pinkie Promise, sticking her hoof in her eye with ease.

"I guess I'll take that as a yes from Pinkie" Spitfire smiled again to Pinkie.

"Cool, she loves surprises.  I won't tell her anything." Spike said.  

"Surprises can be very pleasant." Jason said smiling.  "I won't say anything, even if I knew who this Rainbowdash was." Jason said.  

"They certainly can be." Sara said.  

"I'm sure none us will say anything to whoever this rainbowdash is." Jason said looking at his friends who all nodded in agreement.

"Heh, thanks" Spitfire answered back with another soft smile again as she looked to the cupcakes before floated off towards the door of Sugercube Corner as Vinyl Scratch stepped inside, taking a bite out of the cupcake.

"Delicious as usual" Vinyl spoke up as she looked atthe group.  She hadn't been out of her house for the whole day, so she had indeed, missed what had been going on on the planet, being too wrapped up in her music to even notice.  Heck, she wasn't even realizing that there were a few of the aliens present right now as her gaze was already set upon Spike.

She approached the baby dragon with a smile upon her face "Hey, you....you're Twilight's dragon friend right? The one that helps her out in the library? Sparky was it? Anyway, name's not important....I need your help with something, since you're so good with helping out others....it's kinda important" Vinyl told Spike, looking at him through her sunglassess "Just follow me, I'll tell you along the way" she added in, finishing off the cupcake, turning and trotting off, hoping that Spike alone would indeed, follow her.

"Sure, that's me.  I'm Twilight Sparkle's number one assistant.  " Spike said before he started to run off to catch up with Vinyl Scratch.  "What do you need help with.

"Good luck." Jason said after Spike.
